PLAYERS

Really good point that off the back of Tuesday’s result. Lets go on a run now.

@mcglashan7

FANS

Thought first half was good and deserved to lead but second half was poor.

@kristofshrimper

Badly missed Ranger. More creativity required and pace up front as well. We also need more forward runs from Lenny.

@deanallum

Really low quality game. If that is our squad in a month we will really struggle.

@moorhouse79

Dull and boring. Too much sideways and backwards passing Any forward balls hoofed up field. Tough to watch.

@shrimperjon

Worrying just how hard it is to play and please our home crowd.

@mwelly7

Thought it was an improved home performance. Still need to be passing the ball forward more decisively and preferably quicker. The two Macs were both good today. The much maligned Mooney also deserves credit.

@kaylalula

I did think it was a generous penalty. He was basically right in front of him.

@ljarvis27

Need two new centre-backs sharpish.

@sammadden1989

Our defence doesn’t seem to have any confidence in Oxley. Will he come off his line this season or not?

@fatboyclarky

Think all Southend fans are behind the players. Behind Brown? Not so much.

@peterrmiles

I thought McGlashan made a huge difference when he entered the play. Creative, quick and accurate crosses.

@woodhousesimon

Need some pace up front

@monster_721

Decent but we need Nile back as soon as possible because from the first 20 minutes at Sheffield he was very impressive.

@sufcsouthend135

Dominated first 30 minutes. Think if Nile Ranger was on pitch we would’ve gone into half-time winning. Need that type of striker.

@rourkeluke

Thought Blues did OK but didn’t look dangerous. Shocking to concede from another set piece.

@stuartwalters7

August is a write-off, where were the early signings? Don’t buy the Brown excuses as other teams have players in

@mtaters7

Soft penalty saves Brown from loads more abuse.

@garymartin1981

To concede the amount we do from set pieces is criminal. Without learning to defend we won’t progress anywhere.

@ryansmyth94

Still same problems, defending set pieces and creativity. Need a dominant CB, partner for Cox and a midfield maestro.

@philjd52

All this does is paper over alarming cracks and keep Brown in a job for another week.

@ice_speedway

Occasional islands of averageness in a sea of direness. Without adding at least three new players we could go down.

@shrimperlee

Hard working display but lack quality up front to win us games. Essential to get a forward in before the deadline.

@tommyharris57

Positives are that we looked defensively solid. However we are still needing that player who can break down the opposition.
